What is a sailors' knife?

[nominoe]

it would be definitely better with a spyderhole, H1 blade, G10 handle and a shackle tool :D

i wouldn't trust ATS 34 to be rust resistant enough.

sea is **** for knives, paradise for us :D

nominoe- we are thinking along the exact same lines.... :D

I guess that is just pocket change when you drive around in luxury boats or million dollar yachts though.

But what about those of us who sail around in beaten up old sailing dinghies :) .

Sounds good Joyce but I hope you can get the price down. This is one knife I've been lusting after for a long time.

I just ordered one of the Seamaster knives today, as I have been waiting around for the Yachtsman to appear for about 6 years.

The Seamaster will have to tide me over until Spyderco coughs out their Sailor knife. When I can get around to it, I will post a review of the Russell knife.

All sounds good on the current Sailor design except I would prefer titanium handle, although I know G-10 would be more practical in a cold, wet situation.

I just had a look at the AG Russell "Seamaster" for the first time. It is a pretty impressive knife all round but the thing I like the most is the the serrations on the front of the blade rather than the back. That has always made a lot of sense to me and I hope :spyder: will consider it for the Yachtsman. The only thing I don't like is the price, that's a lot of knife to loose overboard.

The A.G. Russell knife is called the SeaMaster
